Was my friend given misinformation.


My friend is just getting into audio for a music system. In his price rang I thought the Rogue Sphinx V3 would be a nice choice. He could also look at the Revel Concerta 2 line of speakers. Well he decided to stop by Magnolia at Best Buy.  Not a bad setup he got a Denon 3700 AVR and a pair of B&W 603's. He said the salesman told him to stay away from integrated amps as they are not anything but stripped down AVR's without the features. So I guess all us owners of 2 channel preamps and integrated have been duped. Who knew??

Who would ever listen to a salesperson at Best Buy. in the first place?  

Integrated amps have come a long way.  I dream of owning a Luxman 509.  Integrated amps help clear the clutter and they help to make room inside an entertainment center.  All I care about is knowing what's inside the cabinet.  If I had an expensive turn table, I would switch gears and go with a rack and use a small LED light on an arm to spotlight to show it off.  If I had a $100,00 sound system, I might look at things differently.  I wonder at times how many of our members have systems costing more than that.
